WONGIE ROCK SONG OF THE WEEK: palma violets - we found love

2013-05-21T11:00:00.000-04:00

palma violets - we found love
oh drunken youth! something about these young londoners in how they've managed to capture a sound that is both filled with urgency and sounds sentimental at the same time. so good!

WONGIE INDIE SONG OF THE WEEK: wolf alice - bros

2013-05-21T10:00:00.000-04:00

wolf alice - bros
i'm totally reminded of the female fronted 90's alt bands when i hear this song by uk based wolf alice. lead gal ellie roswell initially set herself as a solo project before banding together with the rest of her quartet. i'm intrigued now cause this song is damn good (the melodious breakdown during the bridge is sweet!)

the lone bellow - bleeding out
oh how i love the vocals of the lone bellow lead singer, zach williams! throw in his amazing cohorts kanene & brian and you've got a lush trio that deserves to break out seriously in 2013. the official single off their amazing debut album, press play and bask in it's wonderfulness now!

VIDEO PREMIERE!: jennifer lopez feat pitbull - live it up

2013-05-19T14:08:00.000-04:00

jennifer lopez feat pitbull - live it up
jeez, what a hot mess of a song! it's got 4 things going on at the same time at this hyper speed all the while fronted by a trannified jlo. weirdly this is heading into guilty pleasure territory.

WONGIE (other) INDIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: bibio - a tout a l'heure

2013-05-17T11:00:00.000-04:00

bibio - a tout a l'heure
taken from steven wilkinson's 7th (!!) album under the bibio guise, this is the perfect track to watch the sunset don't you think? it's just glorious!

WONGIE INDIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: thumpers - unkinder (a tougher love)

2013-05-17T09:00:00.000-04:00

thumpers - unkinder (a tougher love)
london cuties marcus pepperell and john hamson jr (aka thumpers) offer up your indie anthem of the summer. pretty much darn near perfect, just blast and sing along in no time!

WONGIE POP SONG OF THE WEEK: ke$ha feat will.i.am - crazy kids

2013-05-16T12:00:00.000-04:00

ke$ha feat will.i.am - crazy kids
FINALLY a new track from ke$ha that requires repeat listening! her recent releases have been a bit underwhelming, but this dr luke co-production offers up a lovely guitar based loop (with whistles!) before throwing down some dirty grooves in the process. i love this song so much that i'm willing to ignore will.i.am's involvement!

WONGIE POP HOP SONG OF THE WEEK: becky g - play it again

2013-05-16T10:00:00.000-04:00

becky g - play it again
teen rap sensation rebbeca marie gomez aka becky g gets an official track co-written by heavy hitters dr luke and max martin (which is probably why there is some hot beatz mixed in with a tween friendly chorus). already featured on other kid friendly acts cher lloyd and cody simpson, this mexican rapper/singer is set for some serious greatness if this radio friendly future hit is anything to go by!

WONGIE SONG OF THE MONTH: lorde - royals (video premiere)

2013-05-16T09:00:00.000-04:00

lorde - royals
we fell in love with this sassy number 2 weeks back and have been playing it non-stop since. it's taken awhile, but ella finally released a video to accompany her cool kid anthem and it's brilliant. showcasing the everyday boredom of suburban kids, ella had this to say in her video testimony: "this song means a hell of a lot to me, and to others, and i guess what i tried to do is make something you could understand. a lot of people think teenagers live in this world like 'skins' every weekend or whatever, but truth is, half the time we aren't doing anything cooler than playing with lighters, or waiting at some shitty stop. that's why this had to be real." damn this kid is cool!

DANCE BITCH DANCE: hot natured feat anabel englund - reverse skydiving

2013-05-15T12:00:00.002-04:00

hot natured feat anabel englund - reverse skydiving
oh this is silky and sexy and sassy and every other positive descriptive 's' word you can think of!

AUDIO BUZZ: katy b - what love is made of

2013-05-15T12:00:00.001-04:00

katy b - what love is made of
oh we're going full on 90's house anthem for her official first single from her sophomore album (rumored to be released in OCTOBER!) i'm already a huge fan of tracks from her danger EP, and this number just tells me that the new album will be filled with some serious dance music. i'm excited!

WONGIE HOUSE SONG OF THE WEEK: gorgon city feat clean bandit - intentions

2013-05-15T10:00:00.000-04:00

gorgon city feat clean bandit - intentions
this is classy collaboration between two acts that have creeped onto my radar over the past few months with their awesome work. wait til the bassline kicks in and you'll be in heaven, just brilliant!

WONGIE (other) POP SONG OF THE WEEK: sara bareilles - brave

2013-05-14T21:15:00.000-04:00

sara bareilles - brave
directed by the lovely rashida jones, i love nothing more than watching normal dorky folk get down and find their dance spirit! throw in the sweet catchiness of sara's new single and you've got something wonderful!

want more? check out the behind the scenes video of the making of 'brave':

WONGIE FUN SONG OF THE WEEK: dizzee rascal feat robbie williams - goin' crazy

2013-05-14T11:00:00.000-04:00

dizzee rascal feat robbie williams - goin' crazy
i love how robbie doesn't even pretend to mouth the words anymore to music videos! a surprising collaboration between dizzee and rascal might actually turn into the fun song of the summer.

WONGIE VIDEO OF THE WEEK: naughty boy feat sam smith - la la la

2013-05-14T10:00:00.000-04:00

naughty boy feat sam smith - la la la
not only has the song slowly grown on me, but this amazing wizard of oz inspired video by ian pons jewell shot entirely in bolivia is just gorgeous! i'm hooked!

2013-05-13T12:00:00.000-04:00

co-written by cutie singer/songwriter ed drewett, this is easily one of olly's best songs that'll hopefully allow him to grow as an musical artist.
